Highlights of the Silverstone GP

The distance In recent years, the 5,891 kilometer long high-speed circuit has primarily been favored by Mercedes with its powerful engine. In the past seven years, the Silver Arrows have won six times, only interrupted by Sebastian Vettel in a Ferrari in 2018. The location The circuit is located a good 100 kilometers northwest of London and is the home of British motorsport in a fairly rural area. For a large number of the teams, the Grand Prix is a home game: even the German factory racing team Mercedes has its two factories only around 35 kilometers from the constantly changed, revised and modernized track. The statistics Once again there can actually only be one winner: Lewis Hamilton. The Mercedes driver has already achieved six successes at his home race. More than anyone else. The Home of British Motorsport in Silverstone is only 80 kilometers from Stevenage – the town where Hamilton grew up. The unforgettable Grand Prix It all started at Silverstone. 70 years ago, the first world championship race in the premier motorsport class was held on a course that was completely different at the time. The winner on May 13, 1950 was the Italian Giuseppe Farina in an Alfa Romeo. It was the beginning of a success story. This year Formula 1 is making its 54th stop. That's how it went last year A brutal maneuver by Sebastian Vettel was remembered. In third place, the German raced into the rear of Dutch Red Bull ace Max Verstappen. It was the low point of a season that was not very uplifting. Vettel had to pit after the collision and was the last to return to the track. In the end he finished 16th, while Hamilton triumphed once again in front of his own fans. Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes) came second ahead of Charles Leclerc (Ferrari).
